    We are interested in better understanding the Facilitation and Coaching Market before finalising our specification and budgets.

    Please complete our Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire using the link below:

    forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx ↗

    Once the results of this questionnaire have been collated, it is the intention to hold a webinar which will be made available to those suppliers who have engaged at this stage and also via In-Tend once the tender has been published to ensure that all suppliers have access to the same information at tender stage.
